Number of stickers that Raeann gave away
= 3 x 5 u
= 15 u
Number of stickers given away
= 5 u + 21 + 15 u
= 20 u + 21
20 u + 21 = 408 - 147
20 u = 261 - 21
20 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 20 = 12
Number of stickers that Jean and Raeann had in the end
= 147 - 3 u
= 147 - 3 x 12
= 147 - 36
= 111
Answer(s): 111
